Why the Flu Is More Common in Winter and How to Protect Yourself

Why the Flu Is More Common in Winter and How to Protect Yourself

The flu surges in winter because cold, dry air stabilizes the virus and allows it to linger longer, while increased indoor gathering creates ideal conditions for rapid transmission. Additionally, reduced sunlight and lower humidity can compromise your immune system’s nasal defenses, making you significantly more susceptible to infection during colder months. To combat this, prioritize getting your annual flu shot and maintaining rigorous hand hygiene to neutralize germs before they spread. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online. We have convenient locations at Brimhall Primary Care Center, Ming Primary Care Clinic, Niles Primary Care Clinic, Universal Q-Street Primary Care, and Niles Family Medicine in Bakersfield, CA.
